President: Shea Willis

My name is Shea Willis; I have been an active Upper School Board member since returning to Rancho Solano in 2019.  My oldest son Anthony graduated from Rancho in 2022 and is currently attending UCLA.  Our youngest, Andrew, will be a Junior at Rancho  this year. He enjoys being a member of the Varsity basketball team.  I have served in many capacities over the years; Grade representative, Vice President, and President.  It hasn’t always been an easy commitment each year, but I feel it is such an important part of what makes Rancho so special, that it’s hard to say no😉. I thoroughly enjoy working with the parents of Rancho and it is our mission to enhance the lives and experiences of our students and faculty.  I know what we do makes a difference and there is nothing more rewarding than that!

My background includes obstetrical nursing; I have a BSN from GCU.  I’m a former Labor and Delivery RN that has since taken a break from the bedside to help my husband expand the national footprint of his Wealth Management firm.  We look forward to continually supporting Rancho into the new school year!

Vice-President: Cari Woods

My name is Cari Woods. We are thrilled to be entering our second year at Rancho Solano and my second year serving on the Upper School PTO. Last year I served as Secretary and this year I will serve as Vice President. My son, Chase is excited to be a 7^th grader this year!  I have held many PTO positions from Room Mom Coordinator, Secretary to President; both in the public and private school settings. I served on the Superintendent’s Parent Council for Gilbert Public Schools for 3 years. I have a professional background in Event Production and Management here in Scottsdale. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two sons, and our English Bulldogs. I pride myself on being the best cheerleader for my two favorite basketball teams… Phoenix Suns and Rancho Solano Mustangs!

Treasurer: Wendy Stoeckel

My name is Wendy Stoeckel and this is my second year as the Upper School PTO Treasurer.  Our son Adam started at Rancho as a Freshman in 2021 and is a Junior this year.  He has made wonderful friendships, learned from impactful teachers and loves playing on the basketball team.  I’m honored to serve on the PTO along with other resourceful, talented and genuinely caring individuals with a “can do” attitude.  Over this last year, I’ve observed that what makes Rancho so special is the teamwork and effort of not only teachers and administration but also the parents, extended families and of course all the wonderful kids.

I am a CPA and have spent the majority of my career in accounting and finance working in the Public Homebuilding industry.  For the last 10 years, I’ve worked as an Asset Manager for a Land Banker with investments nation-wide.  In my spare time, I'm hanging out with my family and two rescue mutts and teaching cycle classes at the gym.  I’m excited for another great year at Rancho...Go Mustangs!

Secretary: Nicole Singh

My name is Nicole Singh. I am a parent of two and we are a brand-new family to the Rancho Solano Community. Our son is entering 7th grade and we hope to apply in the Fall for our now 4th grader. I have a background in the arts, having worked in the art department of film and television. Community engagement is very important to us as a family and I have held roles at my children’s schools from Room Parent all the way to PTO President, have sat on advisory councils for a school parent board and a district school board. I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to meet fellow parents, teachers and administrators over the last 10 years. I look forward to continuing to do so for the 2023/24 school year.

Student Appreciation Liaison (1): Allison Corritore

Hello, my name is Allison Corritore and this will be my second year as the student laison for Upper School.  My daughter, Bella Delmedico is a senior and has been at Rancho for 5 years.  I have worked in business development and marketing for almost 20 years and own a commercial leasing company with my husband John.  Our company has helped create, develop the Waterfront and and lease lifestyle centers all over Maricopa County, including Kierland, Scottsdale Quarter, many others.  We also work in brand expansions and acquisitions.  In my spare time I enjoy traveling with my family, working out and doing Pilates with friends, reading, cooking and hosting dinners and game nights with family and friends, and volunteering with Bella.  We love our Rancho community and really enjoy staying active and involved!

Student Appreciation Liaison (2): Allison Justo

Greetings, my name is Allison Justo. Most recently I have served as a liaison for Rancho Solano‘s Parent Advisory Committee.  Joey Justo is my rising 11th grade student, entering Rancho as an eager  freshman. My son Emilio is a 2022 graduate of Rancho, and my daughter is a rising 7th grader at All Saints’ Episcopal Day School in Phoenix. I have served as a teacher, principal and superintendent and my last position in the field of education was Director of Education for Maricopa County. Upon having children, I developed a strong interest in being actively involved in various committees ranging from diversity to chairing talent shows. Almost two decades ago, I embarked on a new career as a strategic analyst for my husband’s growing medical practice.  Having retired two years ago, I have satisfied my hunger for knowledge by taking continuing education classes and listening to audiobooks. In my spare time, I care for my mother who is in a memory care facility adjacent to Rancho. My interests tend to be analytical in nature as I have worked on reuniting lost family members via DNA. Most recently, reuniting a father and his 40-year-old son. Cold cases are also of great interest to me, and I love to curl up at night on the couch and put the pieces together. Another long-time passion of mine is furniture design, and I would someday like to start my own company. But most important to me is faith, family and service. Looking forward to a great year…..Thank you!

Grade Representative Coordinator: Danielle Hsu

Hello! I am excited to begin my 2nd year volunteering on the Upper School PTO committee. My family relocated from NYC in 2021 and have been warmly welcomed into the Rancho community. My kids are James (9th) and Ana (5th) Carbone; our whole family is looking forward to our 3rd year at RSPS. I am a big believer that a strong school community is crucial to a school’s success which is one of the many reasons why I am continuing my commitment to the parents, faculty, and students at Rancho by serving on the Upper School committee. In my free time I can be found hiking, doing Pilates, hanging out with friends, shuttling my kids to the end of the earth, or spending entire weekends at my son’s swim meets.
